#2 How to Copy DataSet from One Server to Another Server

This post is second part of How to Copy DataSet from One Server to Another Server

Continue.......

 After generating the dummy dataset, next step is to identify the files which we need to copy.

2. Files which we need to move

a. APT_CONFIG_FILE - configuration file which used in dataset
b. DataSet Descriptor file - *.ds file, in our case it is dummy.ds
c. DataSet Data files - Actual data files which stored in RESOURCE DISK location

So let's get all the path which we need to access -

APT_CONFIG_FILE = /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Configulations/default.apt
RESOURCE DISK = /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DataSets
DATASET LOC = /home/users/atul/dummy.ds

Use commands or any FTP tool to copy these files in a shared location which can be accessible from another server (serverB)

For my case, I have stored all of them into my linux home direcory which is common in both server.

So I have executed these commands to copy all the required files into my home directory.


cp  /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Configulations/default.apt ~
cp  /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DataSets/dummy.ds.* ~
cp  /home/users/atul/dummy.ds ~


Now, my home directory is having these files -

You can copy these 4 files on serverB where you want to move your dataset. I am not doing the same as my home directory is common for both server.

3. Why we need these files only

Config file was used by datastage to create dataset ( descriptot file, data files, data file location)
So, we needed - config file, dataset descriptor file and dataset data files.
